Melissa Bean Immigration Enforcement Switch Hitter

At least that’s what the Washington Times is saying in an editorial.

No, I’m wrong.

The headline says,

“Two-faced on illegals”

Anyway, she’s not alone.

I don’t dip much into Washington politics…unless it has a local angle.

Apparently, two congressmen have introduced something called the SAVE Act (H.R. 4088). It takes “an enforcement-only approach to the illegal immigration issue.”

Employer sanctions, better border security, etc.

Democratic Party House Speaker Nancy Pelosi doesn’t want a roll call, ever thought it has 160 so-sponsors (out of 435 congressmen, remember?).

The sponsors are trying to get 218 congressmen to sign what is called a “discharge petition” to force a vote, a process that Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan won’t allow.

As of last Friday, 40 of the Democratic Party co-sponsors of the bill won’t sign it.

You guessed the local angle.

8th district Congresswoman Melissa Bean is one of them.

She made the sponsor’s “Frightened Forty” list.

Bean is one of Pelosi’s favorites. She even had a fund raiser for her on the Left Coast.
